The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the 2019 governorship elections in Kogi and Beyelsa states with campaign proper beginning from August 18.

The elections which were earlier scheduled for November 2, 2019, have now been shifted to November 16, 2019.

A statement today, Thursday, by INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Festus Okoye, said that the postponement was due to various appeals for the commission to reschedule the polls to a later date
